New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

A mathematician has solved a 200-year-old maths problem after figuring out a way to crack higher-degree polynomial equations without using radicals or irrational numbers. The method developed by ...

For almost two centuries, mathematicians believed there was no general solution for certain high-degree polynomial equations. Now, two Australian researchers—Norman Wildberger and Dean Rubine—have ...
